I had a tub of vanilla ice cream lying around and I wanted to make a sundae, but I had no toppings. So I decided to make my own hot fudge. Luckily I had a pretty stocked pantry and had a can of evaporated milk lying around. Hot fudge is really easy to make. If I had known it was this easy, I would have made it years ago.Homemade Hot FudgeThe fudge was amazing!In a heavy saucepan melt the butter and chocolate.Melt the butter and chocolateOnce melted add the sugar.Add the sugar and stir to incorporateAfter you have the sugar incorporated slowly add the evaporated milk.Drizzle in the evaporated milkBring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the temp to low.
